I love Antedotum’s Essential Daily Sunscreen. This hydrating facial sunscreen surpassed all expectations. It has broad spectrum SPF 30 UVA UVB and HEV protection. It is loaded with antioxidants to aid in skin’s look and feel. It goes perfect under makeup. It has a light color to it that blended perfectly with my skin. It is also fragrance free and reef safe. The hero ingredient they use is Aspen Bark Complex, which conditions and protects. The packaging is gorgeous enough to leave out on your vanity. As a Beauty Editor I am constantly sent free product. I have plenty of sunscreens in my beauty closet, however when this runs out I will definitely be repurchasing it. It is incredibly lightweight, and doesn’t feel like it clogs pores.

skin safe with Versed Guards Up Daily Mineral Sunscreen with Broad Spectrum SPF 35 protection. They really took care of every sunblock problem with this product. It is lightweight and absorbs fast. There is no white-cast at all. It has a peach tint to it, which almost gives a filtered look to the skin. The texture is silky and works great under makeup. I often forget I have it on because it is so comfortable. This sunscreen has UVA,UVB and blue light protection. It is recommended for all skin types including those that are acne prone. It has antioxidants, sea fennel and mooring seed extract. I feel the brand really used their skincare knowledge to give customers exactly what they want in a face sunscreen.

with MD Pens’s Radiant Retinol 1% Balancing Complex. My skin took to it easily. I noticed an increased softness in my skin after one use. I applied it after cleansing and using MD Pen’s serum. It is thick enough to use as a night cream, but not heavy or greasy. It did not feel like it would be all rubbed off on my pillow. It was mostly absorbed and left a nice moisture barrier on my skin. This cream is not just a retinol but a great night cream that has antioxidants, niacinamide, probiotics, and prebiotics. I often use retinol, so I had no issues using this nightly for a week straight. Those with sensitive skin will want to go slowly and space out use.

I’m loving Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore moisturizer. It is designed to restore the skin’s external barrier and support self repair. I found it to be majorly nourishing and hydrating. It will help to even out and improve overall radiance. It’s lightweight and fast absorbing.

I’m protecting my body at the beach with Neutrogena’s Invisible Daily Defense Lotion SPF 60+. I love the texture and smell of this sunscreen. It’s hydrating and formulated with antioxidants. It is quick drying and lightweight.

My new serum is StriVectin’s Super C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum. I love the concept of a Vitamin C and a Retinol in one product. This lightweight serum brightens and firms skin, while smoothing fine lines and improving texture. It’s not sticky at all, and absorbs fast. It is perfect for layering under a moisturizer and makeup. 

I’ve added some additions to my beauty vanity this month. Summer means skins, and here’s how I’m taking care of mine;

At night I’m washing my face with Peter Thomas Roth’s 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser. It is anti-aging & exfoliating. It removes my makeup and any excess oil. The Glycolic Acid shrinks pores, improves clarity and reduces fine lines. 

For day and night Eye Cream I’m using Park Perfection’s 2 in 1 Instant Eye Lift. It’s designed to tighten and lift the eye skin while reducing wrinkles and puffiness. It uses minerals, peptides and antioxidants to balance and enhance skin around the eye. 

I was overdue for a new foundation brush. I am very happy with NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation Brush. It’s designed for liquid but i’ve used it with my powders as well. It blends perfectly. I love that is it angled to get around every curve of your face. 

I am obsessed with Macadamia Professional Nourishing Repair Oil Spray. It’s officially summer, which means I’m not drying my hair. I let it air dray and then add this spray for a finished look. It has an ultra fine spray and instantly adds shine, moisture, softness, and uv protection. It says to use on wet hair, but I’ve been using it on both wet and dry.

with Larkly’s SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen. Summer is here and you better be protecting your skin. I love the ease of doing touch-ups with this sustainable, mineral based, powder sunscreen. You can keep one in your purse, one in the car, and one in your beach bag. The powder is translucent, yet gives your skin a subtlety filtered look. I use it on my face and body, especially my hands while I’m driving. Larkly offers easy to replace refills, so there is less waste on your reorder. Another bonus of this product is it’s TSA friendly! The ultra soft brush is “self-dispensing”. The sunscreen blocks both UVA & UVB rays, and also includes antioxidants like Resveratrol, Green Tea, Vitamin E, and Licorice Root Extracts. So show some skin this summer, as long as you’re protecting it with Larkly ;)….

Bodyography is a clean beauty brand, that infuses their products with beneficial ingredients like antioxidants, superfoods, and minerals. The whole line is cruelty free, paraben free, and gluten free. I have been using their Pro Perfect Foundation Stick, and their Hydrating Mask. The Foundation Stick gives medium to full coverage with a demi-matte finish. It glides on quick and easy for a flawless complexion. I put it on directly to my skin and blend out with a foundation brush. You can play around with multiple sticks to use for contouring and concealing. The foundation is infused with Vitamins C&E and Aloe. The Hydrating Mask uses antioxidant fruit and plant extracts. It hydrates and improves texture to leave you with a healthy glow. Skin is left plump and hydrated. So treat yourself with Bodyography, and let others take note…

but when you’re in a rush and want salon looking nails, use Static Nails. They have the coolest press on nails I’ve seen. I have not tried them yet, but I will be getting the black ones with red underneath for Winter. For the Summer, I have been using their nail Liquid Glass Laquer in Coconut. It is designed to look shiny and strong like gel, and said to last 10+day. They last a solid 6 on me. Most polishes last 3. It is made with Antioxidants, Rosehips, Marula Oil, Balm Mint, and is non toxic (8 free). Coconut is the perfect sheer pink with a hint of white. So fake a salon visit with Static, you know you’re faking other things….


better skin. Every 24 hours a new layer of dead skin makes it’s way to the surface says Dr. Dennis Gross. So I tried his Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel. His peels are said to give you smaller looking pores, fewer wrinkles, radiance, and clear and even complexion. The 2 step daily peels are individually wrapped. They are packed with 5 AHA/BHA’s, antioxidants, and vitamins. The peels are designed for daily use, so don’t worry about sensitivity. The steps are simple. Step 1 exfoliate with the packaged cloth. Wait 2 minutes. Then wipe with the 2nd cloth which delivers powerful antioxidants and antiaging actives. Your skin is then prepped to absorb your serums and moisturizers. So reveal better skin with Dr Gross, and reveal some more…
